This morning, i try to order some tools and the 2 gears cutters from McMaster-Carr. Unfortunately i receive this message from there sales department :

Jacques,

Due to the ever-increasing complexity of U.S. Export regulations, McMaster-Carr has decided to only accept orders from a few, long-established customers of ours overseas. We cannot accept your order, and regret any inconvenience this causes you.

i'm currently building vertical crosstube boilers and various engines (steam). my skill level is now at the point where i can do something of this quality and scale.

any suggestions?

gas engines? steam? beam engines?

lets' do it ]]>59Team CAD build engine pollWed, 13 Jan 2016 20:36:15 +0000https://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/threads/team-cad-build-engine-poll.24359/

People have said that this or that engine is too complex. It is sort of like eating an elephant you just do it one bite at a time.

Most of the parts that make up an engine are very simple. There are just a couple that require working out how the part can be modeled. The block and head or heads are a couple that I can think of.

If you vote for "Other" please give an example....

How about we test this by team building some engine. We could use a design that is public, maybe one of Brian Rupnows, where good 2D drawings are available. We could split up the work and each guy just do one or two parts.

Have a look at...

https://www.homemodelenginemachinist.com/threads/bensgreentrain-pm-3.21565/invalid@example.com (bensgreentrain)bensgreentrainI have started build of PM #3 casting kit. Now I am trying to learn how to post pics. No it isn't finished, but I do plan to add pics as I progress. No I'm not a machinist but I am having fun learning how to use HF 7X10 lathe and HF X2 mill.

Ive started to draw up the " Kelly & lewis , 15" duplex pump " from the Darwin WW2 oil storage tunnels , and just seing if any one is interested in making one ( or 2 )

Im drawing them in CAD , and have a CNC machine to make the patterns , and have the furnace / sand to cast the peaces

I was looking at making 6 of them , the set has 2 identical pumps , 1 set for the Tunnels , one set for the Qantas...

SCIENTISTS have built the smallest petrol engine, tiny enough to power a WATCH. The mini-motor, which runs for two years on a single squirt of lighter fuel, is set to revolutionize world technology.

It produces 700 times more energy than a conventional battery despite being...

Me, I picked the parts, I thought, would be hard. That way I have to work for it. Plus after 14- 15 cranks. They probably won't be as daunting.
